FTB and minnow basher younis over laxman, hahaha just cos VVS is in poor form right now, don't insult him by comparing him to younis khan, VVS is a class above.

[BERGKAMP]

Although VVS is past it now, he will go down as one of the most elegant and mentally tough batsmen to ever play the game. Younis would be more comparable to Dinesh Mongia.

[Laaloo]

VVS will go down as THE GREATEST Player UNDER PRESSURE EVER!!!!!! Don't know about Younis though

Younis Khan over VVS anyday. Excluding minnows (BD, Zim) for both players, YK averages almost 60 in the 4th innings of a Test match compared to 41 for VVS. What "mental toughness"?:giggle: That alone is enough for him to be termed a greater player. And I haven't even started on Younis's career average yet:haha:

[chainsmoker1985]

Pl don't blame me now. I am actually pissed off at Laxman by his recent performances and his fitness levels. I had great expectations on this last tour of Aus of our big 3 but this is really disappointing

[Andrew Peter]

Younis isnt bad either , averages over 50 in Tests afterall .

[Pak_Fan_4_Eva]

For the doubters. I have excluded minnows i.e Bangladesh and Zimbabwe. Fourth innings of a Test match. Younis Khan VVS Laxman YK averages a phenomenal 151 against the Proteas across 12 matches:hatsoff:

[zep1706]

YK is the better player, Laxman is better to watch when on song.

Lara averages in the 30s in the 4th innings. YK better than him as well? :hmmm:

[Pak_Fan_4_Eva]

YK is the better player' date=' Laxman is better to watch when on song.[/quote'] Can't disagree there. No doubt many of Laxman's knocks have been out-of-this-world. But he severely lacks consistency outside the SC.

[jhakati]

VVS is a class above younis khan, you can compare younis to someone like gautam gambhir not laxman.

[Pak_Fan_4_Eva]

Lara averages in the 30s in the 4th innings. YK better than him as well? :hmmm:

More mentally tough then, yeah :P

[Ultimate_Game]

VVS all the way. Remind me of a decent innings by YK against Aus or SA again?

[ganeshran]

More mentally tough then' date=' yeah :P[/quote'] Greater player?
